Control, monitor,
automate production.
Complete design and integration of complex automated systems and cutting-edge robotic solutions to optimize your production cycles — from PLCs to collaborative cobots, via SCADA supervision and real-time industrial networks.
Why Choose Us
Automation is more than just a PLC.
01
Vendor-Neutral Expertise
We program and maintain all major PLC brands. No lock-in to a single manufacturer: we select the solution best suited to your installed base and your teams' skills.
02
From Shop Floor to Supervisor
From the sensor to the SCADA, we master the entire chain: PLC programming, HMI, industrial networks, and data feeds into your MES or ERP. A coherent, documented, and scalable architecture.
03
Safety & CE Compliance
Every installation is designed to be safe by design: risk assessment, safety circuits (emergency stop, guards, PLd/PLe performance levels), technical file, and CE marking. Productivity never comes at the expense of operators.
Our Automation & Robotics Solutions
Six areas of expertise, one unified line.
Advanced Robotic Integration
Industrial arms, collaborative cobots, and complete cells: palletizing, assembly, welding, pick-and-place. Feasibility study, gripping, collaborative safety, and programming by teach-in.
Industrial IT & SCADA
Real-time supervision, data historization, alarm management, and dashboards. Industrial networks — Profinet, Modbus TCP, OPC-UA, EtherCAT. Secure gateways to your MES and ERP systems.
Variable Speed Drives
Variable frequency drives and soft starters on pumps, fans, and conveyors. 20 to 50% energy savings, smooth starts, and reduced mechanical wear. Configuration and commissioning included.
Retrofit & Modernization
Replacement of end-of-support PLCs and HMIs, migration of obsolete programs, wiring upgrades. We keep the sound mechanical part and give your installations another decade of life, at a controlled cost.
Machine Safety & CE Compliance
Risk assessment, certified safety circuits (emergency stop, guards, PLd/PLe levels per EN ISO 13849), technical file, and CE marking. Compliance upgrades for existing equipment included.
Our Guiding Principle We do not automate for the sake of it. We start from your real bottleneck — throughput, ergonomics, non-quality, energy — and size the solution to the challenge. Technology serves production, never the other way around.
Target Applications
Five sectors, five automated lines.
Food & Beverage
Packaging lines, dosing, robotic palletizing. Batch-by-batch traceability, automated cleaning (CIP), hygiene compliance, and real-time throughput supervision.
Pharma & Cosmetics
Sensitive processes, precision filling, serialization, and regulatory traceability. Redundant PLCs, certified historization, and MES integration for audit readiness.
Logistics & Intralogistics
Conveyors, sorters, AGVs, and palletizing cells. Synchronization with the WMS, flow regulation, and downtime supervision to sustain shipping throughput.
Energy
Conversion stations, variable speed drives on rotating machinery, production automation management, and remote multi-site supervision via OPC-UA.
Water Treatment
Pumping and treatment stations, level and flow regulation, remote management, and alarms. Major energy savings thanks to variable speed drives on pumps.
Field Operations
From the control cabinet to the robotic cell.
Frequently Asked Questions — Automation & Robotics
Technical insights on automated production.
Which PLC brand should I choose?
We work with all the major PLC brands on the market. The right choice depends on your existing installed base and the skills of your maintenance teams: we recommend the best-suited solution, with no lock-in to a single manufacturer.
What is a SCADA and what is it for?
A SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is the supervision station that collects real-time data from PLCs, displays line status, logs alarms, and drives production. It gives operators a synoptic view of the site and enables downtime analysis, traceability, and decision support. We deploy Wonderware/AVEVA, WinCC, PcVue, and Ignition.
Can a line be modernized without replacing everything?
Yes — that is the whole point of a retrofit. We keep the sound mechanical part and replace only the obsolete control hardware: end-of-support PLC, drives, HMI, wiring. You recover a high-performing, fully documented machine for a fraction of the cost of new equipment, with controlled production downtime.
Are variable speed drives worth the investment?
On pumps and fans, a variable frequency drive typically cuts energy consumption by 20 to 50% by matching speed to actual demand instead of running at full power with mechanical throttling. Payback is often between 1 and 3 years, and mechanical wear drops sharply thanks to soft starts.
What is an industrial network like Profinet or OPC-UA?
These are the buses that let PLCs, drives, sensors, and supervision communicate. Profinet and EtherCAT handle real-time control on the shop floor, Modbus TCP links third-party equipment, and OPC-UA feeds data up to supervision and enterprise IT (MES/ERP) in a secure, standardized way. A clean network architecture is the foundation of a reliable, cyber-secure site.
Do you provide maintenance after commissioning?
Yes. We provide maintenance and support for the installations we integrate, including remote diagnostics, on-call service, and program backups. This is also at the heart of our Operational Readiness (MCO) offering, which covers 24/7 availability of your critical equipment.
